About Us

LANGUAGE:

Our work empowers our clients to grow successful businesses which enables children to grow up with improved health and education. Working in partnership with World Vision in Cambodia, we are committed to long-term change and unlocking potential for future generations.

Recognizing that financial services are not the only tools for economic development and poverty alleviation, VisionFund Cambodia has forged strategic partnerships with a variety of socially driven organizations. These networks have enabled greater outreach and social impact, and have helped to drive VisionFund Cambodia’s strategic approach, uniqueness, and competitiveness.

The Microfinance Institution (MFI) evolved from a small-credit program of World Vision International-Cambodia in the 1993 to a separate institution in 2003 as an affiliated member of VisionFund International’s (VFI) global microfinance network. VisionFund Cambodia received a microfinance license from the National Bank of Cambodia in 2004 and a permanent license in 2007.
